Openings

There were 2-move book openings in this stage chosen by Cato. Each opening was repeated 4 times in a round, and then again in the reverse games round. In total 14 2-move openings were used. The first letter of the ECO codes was
distributed as follows:

If we use the opening 'family name' (using format FAMILY_NAME: VARIANT....) the top 3 are:
Sicillian - 23 times
Queen's pawn game - 9 times
English, Nimzovich-Larsen attack, Petrov - 8 times

The
engines had a lot of freedom to choose the opening variant. However, 48.2%
of the game pairs repeated the same ECO code twice, and 32.1%
repeated the same opening variant. In 19.6% of the game pairs the ECO
first letter was not repeated twice.

Reverse pairs, wins

Reverse pairs, same moves

Pairs of reverse games diverged very quickly, 82.1% of the pairs diverged at most after 1 move. The longest repeated move sequence in a game pair was 14 plys long, in DeusX-Hannibal, rounds 7 and 14, both draws.
